We had a wonderful stay. The kids loved the pool the most. The house was just beautiful and close to the beaches.
We loved the spaciousness of the property and it’s close proximity to few different beaches. The large dining room and lounge room was perfect . Pool and spa was a hit with the kids as well.

Thank you for your lovely review and for being great guests Elizabeth. It was a pleasure to have you stay. Welcome back anytime. Best Regards, Lisa
The photos don't do this place justice. The pool area & grounds are absolutely gorgeous and it's so peaceful.
The house is massive and the open plan kitchen/dining is perfect for entertaining.
Would definitely recommend and would love to come back for a second stay.

Thank you for visiting Sandalwood in Avoca Beach and kind review, Rhona. You are very welcome and we are glad that you and your friends enjoyed your stay.
Spacious house with a great big covered balcony where we could all (12 of us) sit and share company. Beds all very comfortable. Had everything we needed. Bonus was we had brilliant weather. Would highly recommend for a family getaway. A little bit of traffic noise sitting outside but no problem indoors. Would definitely stay here again.

Thankyou for your visit to Sandalwood in Avoca Beach Lynne, and for your lovely review. You and your family were a delight to host and we hope to have you stay again sometime.
Such a lovely property. Nice and quiet. House was a great size, plenty of bedrooms. Kitchen was great to cook in and excellent Lounge area to relax in. It felt like a very relaxed break away. The pool was lovely and had a very Bali feel to it. The pool was slightly disconnected from the house and there appeared to be someone staying at the bottom of the house where one of the bathrooms was which was not what we expected but overall
Our stay was great.

Thanks for your lovely review Diana. There wasn't actually anyone staying downstairs where the third bathroom was, which is only for guest use. We're glad you enjoyed your stay, anyway.
The property is beautiful. A huge house with lots of space for entertaining a group of family and/or friends. Everything available in the kitchen for us to cook up a storm. Lovely comfortable bedding, two big areas for people to gather inside and a fabulous outdoor deck with barbecue. The pool and spa area are delightful and the setting of the house overlooking the bush is beautiful. Listening to the birdsong in a such a peaceful setting is a joy away from the noise of cities and suburbia. Lisa, the host is lovely, patient and helpful with all our questions.
